Why Statutory Inspections Matter: Protecting Your Building and Occupants
Statutory inspections are more than a compliance requirement — they’re essential for the safety of every building’s occupants. As a Facilities Manager or Operations Director, you must ensure your building meets all UK legal standards to avoid risks and penalties.
The Legal Framework for Statutory Inspections
UK regulations, including the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, mandate regular checks on all critical building systems.
Key Statutory Inspections
Fire Safety: Regular fire risk assessments, fire door inspections, and alarm tests are crucial to prevent and manage fire risks.
Electrical Safety: Scheduled PAT testing and fixed wire testing (EICR) ensure all electrical systems remain safe and efficient.
HVAC & Gas: Regular boiler servicing and HVAC system checks not only maintain safety but improve energy efficiency.
Water Systems: Legionella risk assessments are vital to prevent harmful bacteria outbreaks.
Lifting Equipment: LOLER inspections ensure lifts and hoists meet strict safety standards.
